Keith is exactly right. The package files that are created through the DDT can be viewed from within this EXE as well. StrataFrame provides a compression class that can be used in place of a 3rd party tool. This product is royalty free and you can use it to compress any classes in code. The Package-It program just allows you to view the contents of the package files you create (or we create :) ) just like WinZip or WinRar.

'Package-It' is compression or 'zip' (much like WinRAR or WinZIp) utility written by the makers of Strataframe and provided for use along with the framework. You can use it as a standalone utility or program it from within your code using built in procedures. I believe the biggest advantage is its use will be royalty free to your end users upon deployment. The Database Deployment Toolkit utility packages its metadata using Package-It.

I think thats most of it, if not one of the SF staff will be by soon to mop up :)
